The bear hunting season of 1909 will go on record as one of the best known In Pennsylvania, says Game Commissioner Kalbfus. "The season was shortened by three months but that did not hurt the Bport a bit. Bears were plentiful and I think that fully 400 have been shot. In almost every ono of the mountainous countries they were re ported abundant and hunters secured some fine specimens. I do not think the closing of the season with the year works a hardship on any one. It gives the bears a chanco and as tho season for other game is now closed, too, the wild creatures will not be disturbed."

Serves as Natural Stimulus to the Digestive Organs. A writer In the Family Doctor says In regard to fruit eating: "Wo are all quite ready to agree that fruit forms a food of great value, but we display groat lack of Judgment In the manner in which we take advantage of its valuable qualities. Most peo plo, Instead of taking fruit on an empty stomach, or In combination with simple grain preparations, such as bread, eat it with oily foods gen erally cream. Then, perhaps, tho whole mass is washed down with tea, coffeo, or other liquid. To do its best work, fruit should bo eaten either on an empty stomach or else with bread merely, nover vrltlx vegetables. Eaten In the morning, fruit Is very refresh ing and serves as a natural stimulus to the digestlvo orgaiiB; but evon when eaton at the proper time, its good effects are generally counter balanced by Its being saturated with sugar. Very fow kinds of fruit, if thoroughly ripened, require any sugar, particularly If eaten raw." AGAINST STATUE OF GEN. LEE New York Grand Army Post 8nds Protest to Congress. Washington, Jan. 0.

Dlmock died on Tuesday nfternoon nt 2 o'clock nfter a Ilngorlng Illness. Mr. Dlmock waB G2 years of ago last Christmas. He suffered from paraly sis and has been confined' to bed for over a year. Ho was born in Way mart nnd camo to Honesdale In early life. He was employed by the Na tional Bank for several years, af terward was In the mercantile busi ness, being located where C. F. Bullock Is now doing business. Af ter disposing of this business he went to Now York City and engaged in tho electrical business until Illness com pelled him to retire.

Surface, State Zoologist, at Harrlsburg, that ho feared an over planting of fruit trees In Pennsylva nia at the present time, some persons have construed his remark to mean that this would result In overproduc tion and profitless orcharding. Tho Zoologist explains tho difference by saying that while overplanting Is easily possible, owing to the planting of many trees dominated by mercen ary motives only, and which will surely be neglected, overproduction will not bo possible for tho reason that every tree that Is of tho right variety, and Is given proper care, will produce fruit that can be marketed for a better price than ever before. Modern facilities, in the form of re frigerator cars for transportation, andJ cold storage rooms for tho stor age' of perishable fruit, make It pos sible for the orchardiBt to produce fruit In great quantities and hold the same until the products can gradually reach the consumer. Under such cir cumstances the fruit can be sold for good prices and no one who will make a real study of orcharding, and produce first class fruit In abund ance, need fear that ho will have any difficulty to dispose of his crop. The man who has more trees than he can give his attention to, or, in other words, who overplants; who will not study the subject of hortlculr ture, and consequently docs not be come personally Interested in it, is tho one who will produco fruit of in ferior quality, and consequently bo unable to get rid of it promptly or at an advantageous price. Such a per son will declare that he Is suffering from overproduction, when, as a mat ter of fact, his real difficulties are overplanting and lack of care. mere lias recently developed a common belief that it Is possible for any one, especially a professional or a business man, to start an orchard, plant, spray his trees occasionally, and In the course of time obtain good crops from them at highly profitable prices. This Is a mistake. Tho only successful orchardlsts will bo those who study their individual trees as tho dairyman studies his individual cattle. He will attempt to furnish each with tho balanced rntlon of fertilizer, according to Ub own needs and pos sibilities, and will pruno, sprny and cultivate each according to tho gen oral needs of tho orchard and tho specific needs of that particular tree. Those who determine to raise first class fruits, and will study, master, and enjoy tho subject, and llvo among the trees, rather than expect their employes only to do this, need not bo discouraged with the outlook for the prospects of tho Now Fruit Culture In Pennsylvania. j M? !

It Is called "n real Rooseveltlnn docu ment, guaranteed to bring about some nctlon." It Is conceded to be an ably achioved, spirited and sincere exposi tion of Mr. PInchot's attitude to wards his opponents. Mr. Plnchot has boldly challenged his critics. Ho shows that ho pos sesses the courage of his convictions, and that he Is-willing and amply ablo to fight to uphold what he believes to be the right. He does not mention by name any of tho forces that are opposing him nnd his policy, but he sets forth some things which are quite as pointed as If he had men tioned names. Mr. Plnchot asserts that the forest service has broken no laws. He says: "We hold it to bo tho llrst duty of a public olllcer to obey the law. But we hold It to be a second duty, and a close second, to do everything the law will let him do for tho public good, and not merely what the law directs or compels him to do." Leaders of congress who havo In charge the plans for the Congression al investigation of the Balllnger-Pin-chot controversy have decided that a joint committee of congress, consist ing of six members from each house, four of whom will be Republicans and two Democrats, shall conduct the Investigation.
